Favorite Non-Iconic/Underrated Pearl Jam Lyrics...

[spike]

or we could something else

[Lament]

it's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth
and she's standing outside hating everyone here

I like that one a lot.

That really is a fantastic one.

[malice]

it's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth
and she's standing outside hating everyone here

I like that one a lot.

of the girl has some great lines too.

Oh he deals them off of the top. Ties them off.
Fills it up with his past. Gets carried away.
Oh half his life a hand me down wasted away.
Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl.

[malice]

it's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth
and she's standing outside hating everyone here

I like that one a lot.

That really is a fantastic one.

glad you like it - I'm hard pressed to find much wrong that era of Pearl Jam

[Lament]

it's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth
and she's standing outside hating everyone here

I like that one a lot.

That really is a fantastic one.

glad you like it - I'm hard pressed to find much wrong that era of Pearl Jam

When Binaural came out and I first heard that line I thought to myself "Ah, fuck. I bet that's how a lot of people I know would describe me."

[ItsOkay]

Continuing the Binaural lyrics. So evocatively sad and fatalistic:

It was like a book he read in his sleep,... endlessly...
Sometimes he hid in his radio,... watching others pull into their homes
While he was drifting...

Any new realizations... would have to wait...
Til he had more time,... more time...
Time to dream,... to himself... he waves goodbye,
To himself... I'll see you on the other side...

[darthvedder81]

"For every tool they lend us a loss of independence"

Eddie Vedder's most Libertarian lyric.

For an album where Ed was fighting writer's block, Binaural has a lot of good lines...

[stip]

the mfc and leash lines are two of my favorites.


Two really great first lines

'tidal waves don't beg forgiveness/crash then on their way'

'this broken wheel is coming undone/and the road's exploded'

[WtOB?]

Any new realizations would have to wait
Till he had more time
More time

Time to dream.. to himself
He waves goodbye.. to himself
I'll see you on the other side

[WtOB?]

Well you know the pendulum throws..
Farther out to the one side swinging
Has to sweep back the other way

[LikeLukin]

You've got time, you've got time to escape
There's still time, it's no crime to escape

[darth_vedder]

The more you read, we've been deceived
Everyday it becomes clearer,...

Clearer.

[stip]

i was alone and far away
when I heard the band start playing

[E.H. Ruddock]

I'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine, wait for the moment
The moment between us, the fire is made now, hot to the touch

[Strat]

in his room with memories for days, he faced
an undertow of future’s laid to waste, embraced
by the loss of one he could not replace

Yea this one is intense. Hits too close to home far too often.

[elliseamos]

i'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground



And I'm starting to believe
That this hopeless... situation
Is what I'm trying to achieve



Little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

[Strat]

This thread has really reminded me why I am fanboi strat.

[epilogue]

i was alone and far away
when I heard the band start playing

[digster]

How's our mother to damn these contributors with mud?
How will the man who made chemicals difficult shed blood?
How's our father supposed to be told?

That last line is just brutal.
